Georgia lineman strong on USC

OL Alan Knott (6-5 270) of Sandy Creek, GA says USC and North Carolina are his two favorites at this point.

“I really like coach Elliott,” Knott said of USC offensive line coach Shawn Elliott. “And coach (Grady) Brown recruited me when he was at Southern Miss. He’s the one that got the offer out to me at South Carolina and we have a good relationship. And I’ve always been a fan of Steve Spurrier and all that.”

Knott also has offers from North Carolina and Southern Miss. “I’m pretty much open with everybody but South Carolina and North Carolina are my top two,” Knott said.

Knott has visited USC, Georgia, Auburn, North Carolina and Mississippi State, and he will visit Georgia Tech this weekend. He has been to Southern Miss and Georgia Tech for games and plans to get to one at USC this season. And he plans to get back to USC in April for a spring practice or the spring game.
